'405 Method Not Allowed Error' when Starting Insight Applications

Issue 

What causes a '405 Method not allowed' error and how can it be resolved?

Cause 

This is related to configuration of either IIS and / or Insight.

Solution 

This is related to configuration of either IIS and / or Insight.  Here are some suggestions to help resolve this:

• Verify all additional features for IIS were enabled - especially WCF Activation. Refer to the Insight Installation Guide for all IIS feature requirements.
• Verify GET and POST methods are allowed in IIS
• Verify all 8 Insight applications are running under a single app pool in IIS' Applications Pools tree.
• Starting in v6.0, iFrames are disabled. To enable, change the following (bold/underlined) to ALLOW via Program Files\Kofax\Insight\HTMLInsight\web.config:

<httpProtocol>

                           <customHeaders>

                                      <add name="X-Frame-Options" value="DENY" />

                           </customHeaders>

</httpProtocol>
